About the Electrical Meter Room Sign

In a lot of NYC buildings the meters sit behind a plain cellar door, next to the boiler room, the storage room and the trash room. Meter readers, electricians and firefighters often show up when the super is busy or off site, and this sign tells them which door to open.

We found no HPD or city rule that requires it, so it won’t cause a violation by itself. It is good practice, and it saves time on every reading and service call. Inside the room, the Electrical Code does require the main service switch to be marked, which our Main Line Disconnect Switch Sign covers. Many owners add an In Case of Fire Use No Water sign on the same door.

Where to post it

  • On the outside of the meter room door, at eye level.
  • On the closet door or panel in smaller buildings.
  • On both doors if the room has two.
